Phantom Rivers 2008 Wolff Vineyard Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A real flatterer, this is instantly appealing for its upfront raspberry, cherry and currant flavors. There’s subtlety to the acid-tannin structure, and it finishes with notes of dried herbs and tobacco. This needs a few years to come together.

Phantom Rivers 2007 Wolff Vineyards Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)
- $26
Very rich and forward in fruit, this Pinot’s natural raspberry and cherry flavors turns dessert tart decadent as it meets with toasty oak. Yet for all the richness, it finishes bone dry, with scoury Edna Valley tannins. A polished Pinot for drinking now.

Phantom Rivers 2008 Mourvèdre (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Soft and a little dull, but tasty in cherry, tobacco and spice flavors. The finish is hot with high alcohol, yet there’s a pleasant sweetness throughout.

Phantom Rivers 2006 Larner Vineyard Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Reeks of bacon and leather, from the aroma through the finish. Dig deep, and you’ll find blackberries, black pepper and oak. A strange, soft wine that will appeal to some.

Phantom Rivers 2007 Paso del Sol Red
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Soft, fruity and simple, with blackberry, cherry and mocha flavors. Basically dry, but tastes as sweet as jam. Syrah, Cabernet and Mourvèdre.
